As an undergraduate member of Dr. Dorothy Erie's Lab, I research the mismatch repair pathway, a crucial cellular defense against genetic mutations. My research project focuses on studying mismatch repair in the Thermus aquaticus model system. I have trained in a wide array of molecular biology and biochemistry techniques, such as molecular cloning, bacterial transformation, protein purification, gel electrophoresis, cell-free extract preparation, TIRF microscopy, and single molecule FRET.
